摘要 |
An evacuated, sealed container for pure elemental sodium is disclosed which has an open-ended casing of an ionic conducting material sealed at one end with a high temperature ceramic plug by means of a high melting point sodium resistant glass, an electronic conductor in contact with the interior surface of the ionic conducting material and extending outwardly from the casing, and a seal at the other end of the casing. Such a container provides a suitable device for storing and dispensing pure elemental sodium, or provides a sodium electrode with an associated ionic conducting electrolyte. Methods are also described for forming evacuated, sealed containers for pure elemental sodium.
